How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for Docker

To keep your Docker account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how Docker 2FA works, which methods Docker supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your Docker 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.

2FA methods Docker supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)

An authenticator app (TOTP) is the sweet spot: free, offline, and not vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks like SMS.

How to enable or set up 2FA for Docker

Docker supports two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection. Follow our step-by-step Docker guide, or read the official Docker documentation ↗ for the exact, up-to-date steps.

How to recover your Docker account

If you've lost access to your Docker account, use the backup codes you saved when enabling 2FA, or contact Docker support to regain access. Once you're back in, re-add the account to MS Authenticator App.
